Thinking about getting a EV. Just curious why you got yours. The reasons I can think of are:

  • Environmentally friendly 🌵
  • Cheaper Fuel ⚡️
  • They are cool/trendy 😎
  • Lower maintenance 🔧

Is there anything surprising that you found out after you bought it?

    My wife recently bought an Audi. I went with her to pick it up. Price was settled, no financing. Yet we still spent over an hour with the finance guy trying to upsell us on at least 10 different warranties and other useless nonsense.

    I bought my Tesla on my phone. Spent 10 minutes picking it up. When you find a dealership that will get me in an out in 10 minutes, let me know.

      Last time I bought my Audi it was pretty painless. Negotiated price online, went in to test drive it, then just did the paperwork and walked out. Took more than 10 minutes but no annoyances. Obviously YMMV with dealers and most tend to suck, but I personally can’t buy a car without test driving the exact model I’m hoping to buy.
